Quality vehicle and marine batteries plus diagnostics to keep you moving
Battery issues never appear when it’s convenient. A weak start, lingering dash light or sudden failure often shows up when you’re on the way somewhere important. That’s why quick diagnostics and fast supply matter so much.
From small cars and work utes through to boats, RVs and trade vans, batteries are fitted properly with secure brackets and coded when necessary. All are covered by solid warranties and with a wide showroom plus nearby warehouse, even larger or specialist units can usually be supplied the same day.

Advanced battery testing and diagnostics
A slow or weak battery can sometimes hide another issue entirely. Which is why testing it correctly makes all the difference. At Te Rapa Auto Electrical the latest diagnostic tools go beyond just reading a low voltage.
They also evaluate your alternator and charging system so you understand the whole picture.
By carrying out thorough checks first, you avoid replacing a battery that’s actually still good for a period of time. If your car has warning lights, slow cranking or electrical quirks, proper testing pinpoints the issue and leads to the right fix.

Expert fitting and dual battery solutions
Replacing a battery isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. In many newer models, especially European ones, the system needs what’s called coding or registration. It’s what lets the alternator and vehicle computer talk properly, ensuring the new battery works at peak efficiency. Skip this step and you could end up with annoying faults or reduced life from your battery.
At Te Rapa Auto Electrical, a proper service includes safe removal and recycling of your old battery, installing the new battery with correct wiring and brackets, coding or registration for late-model vehicles and final testing so your system is balanced before you drive off.
